The noise is the twinkle motor. Basically blocking different fibre optic cables to give a twinkle effect. Although the noise is quite loud compared to mine. But its just a rotating disc might just need some lubricant.
The only point of the audi a1, BMW 1 series, and Mercedes A-class are for those who want a "luxury brand" but can't comfortably afford them. None of them really represent what the brand is about but allows the owner to say they have an Audi, etc. The biggest problem is even if there the cheapest cars of the brand the replacement parts and services are still luxury brand prices.
I enjoyed watching this video, whoever installed the headlining must have gone to some effort installing all the fibre optics! It wouldn't be my choice, not sure if the black finish on the alloys works! Might be better in silver or grey. But down to personal choice thanks 👍
I'd agree deffo a richer 1st time drivers car I saw around sixth form in 2015 when they took off. Also seen as a more sensible & deffo cheaper to insure than A3/S3's. Polo vs Golf description fits very well to me imo. Although I read Audi were pulling back from these cause the £ margins weren't great & will get worse with emissions regs?
Buying at auction several variables. Private pumters bidding against traders can push prices up. Another 5 🌟 valet from Jordan. The headling is personal choice personally,I would keep it switched off. Again, I appreciate your honest review Joe.
All the goodness from this car was taken with the paintwork fee but as you said win some loose some 1300 profit is more than the minimum wage for a month so still a good return
Not nitpicking but how can you put a car on your forecourt when you still have bits and pieces to finish it off eg the wheels on the Audi? I nearly spelt Aldi lol. Good luck with a quick sale on it. 🤞👍
I just bought the black edition audi a1 1.4 auto its 185bhp as standard very quick car and fun to drive the only thing I would say is I payed over odds for it I paid £9950 from a forecourt but I needed a car as mine died. Car has done 86k so it's OK for what it I I would perfer a golf gt tdi but couldn't get one lol
Hi joe nice desirable car as you say with a potential good profit.Not really keen on those strange lights on the roof lining lol.What happened to the blue seat cordoba? Did you manage to sell it or move it on to another trader?.
I think the point of the A1 is the target market. A1 targets female drivers wanting a cute car, whereas the a3 attracts males moreso . Not sure whether that was intentional by audi, but certainly how it turned out
I dont think the A1 had ISO FIX in the back? and it wasn't really a family car. IE load lip and you can't fit a buggy in the back. But the older A1s were exceptionally well built compared to the new a3's
atleast whislst ur passengers are crying for lack of space they cant be seen with the privacy glass Joe lol S Tronic is the same gear box on the smaller engines as Dsg! 7 speed dual clutch on the A6 they had the Horrid CVT box they called S-Tronic
Funny from young I still can’t stand any Audi. Not appealing. Now they are proper knobs cars. But weren’t when I was around Audi100 back in 1995. Never took to them. I’m śkoda VW man. But only owned Merc Citroen’s. Large cars
@Shifting Metal wow that was quick. Do you mind me asking how much? Mine is on a cat D which is a shame cus it's a really well looked after example. It's hot £800 worth of tyres on lol I've not listed it yet
All I do is buy cars fix cars buy parts sell cars yet I come home and then watch youtubers do exactly the same thing. It must be an illness lol
feel ur pain im retired and still do it!!
😂😂😂I do exactly the same it must be an illness 😂
Mate....
I don't get much downtime, when I do I'm waiting this fella, high peak and the young lad who repairs the high end smashed up motors

Roof is not for me, but somebody will absolutely love it🎉
I love that roof liner
a great car and well done you are sticking to the intro.
Pre Kids my Mrs would have loved a car like this
I'd struggle to drop £9800 on a 2013 A1. Hey that's just me. £7k is more what'd I'd pay from a forecourt 😊
Agreed 10k for a 10 year old A1 the worst of the lot😅

Darker over cast guy I can believe mirror glass finish!!!!!! Doesn't come across on camera, well looks a bonny bright clean shiny car

The reason for the A1 over the A3 is its cheap to insure so popular with teens/new drivers
Hi Joe,what a turnaround this Audi has had with the exterior,the paintwork was a bit swirly,the roof lights are Marmite.a tidy example to sell.
Really enjoy the videos. 👍

Why is your plot of land always so dark and cloudy looking, I'm always tryna max my brightness 😅
A dark cloud follows me everywhere 😅
Not much profit left in that.What about VAT,warranty ,comebacks etc.and paying nearly a grand for paint ?
That’s what I’m thinking 💭 🤔
The roof liner lights are kinda neat, not too sure about them being in an A1, to each their own I guess!
Those black wheels and tints make it looked pimped and de-value it in my eyes. And those lights on the headlining are...... "choices" 😮
Can u do the UA-cam shorts to see what happens to the cars just for those of us that don't do social media 😊
Black on black looks ok. Can’t believe how little room behind the driver’s seat it has.
Great videos excellent content keep it up a1 1.4 auto anygood

I thought S-Tronic was just the new name for 'DSG', still dual clutch.
Yeah, I think you’re right.
No way would I have a roof liner like that.
My A1 same gen had zero rattles whatsoever.
Hi joe nice desirable car as you say with a potential good profit.Not really keen on those strange lights on the roof lining lol.What happened to the blue seat cordoba? Did you manage to sell it or move it on to another trader?.
Just fixed the window, my OH will get it up for sale from the trade site soon

What, got carried away on day in block, auction, never. I stop at my bid, errrr yeh !!!!!
headlining good for bored toddlers in the back!

S tronic is dsg mate
From people I know, girls get the A1, boys get the A3
dont forget the S1 cos they are not for girls lol a bit like Yorkies
S TRONIC is DSG
did he do an update on this?
Nice little car for 10k
Worst case scenerio you got a tank with free fuel in it
Joe .. Headlining .. Absolutely No !! 🤮👍
Where did you find out it has 85 out of 100 popularity rating?
It’s a Autotrader service if you have a package with them
HAVE YOU SOLD THE V6 TT YET?
Sold 🏎️💨

@@DaleSteel £5995 with a MK1 TT as a chop in
@@ShiftingMetal nice. Good price that you've done well. I'm thinking I'll get £4k with been on register
Fiat 500 alternative for young lady's
I also sell cars and I don't buy the 1.4 tfsi engine they are crap after 60000 miles
god those A1's are so overpriced! I remember considering one for a first car but they're nothing special either for the money
oh damn just saw the starlight headlining 😍 that adds 5k value
😂
Yes Skoda fabia polo seat Audi aone same platform gd but not ultra reliable
I actually like that roof...but not an Audi fan ......all driven by idiots
Nah the lights ar gay
Have a look at price of a a3 and similar spec a1 brand new…that’s where you’ll find the reason for people buying a1 over a3 my guy….
